Are You Too Old to Get Healthy?

Are you ever too old to improve your diet and exercise habits? Is it ever too late to lose weight or start a fitness plan? According to Mike Moreno, M.D., bestselling author of The 17 Day Plan to Stop Aging, the answer is no. Dr. Moreno will be hosting a fitness walk tomorrow, Wednesday September 19th, at the Mall of America at 8 a.m. in the rotunda.

3 Simple Steps for Aging Adults

In an interview with the physician, Dr. Moreno laid out the simplest steps that anyone can take, regardless of age, to improve their health.

Maintain a healthy weight. Carrying excess weight can lead to a wide range of chronic conditions. If you are overweight or obese, talk to your doctor about a healthy weight loss plan.

Stay hydrated. Drink water instead of highly caffeinated or high calorie sodas, teas or sport drinks.

Keep moving! Find a physical activity that you enjoy and that allows you to maintain a daily habit of movement. Moreno suggests that you focus on what you can do, rather than on what you can’t do.
